Getting started: tuning notifications in CheckMK Raw Edition

I have no rules set up in: Setup > Services > Service monitoring rules > Notified events for services.

Instead I’m using the rules in: Setup > Events > Notification configuration.

I have an environment with mostly monitored endpoints.

  • First rule disables all notifications of clients outside office hours.
    Easiest way to set outside office timeperiod, is to make a timeperiod with 24/7 and then exclude a previous made timeperiod with office hours
  • Second rule is both host as service notifications of important servers & devices to main mail address for monitoring.
  • Third rule is failover sending to bulk archive mail box for further future tuning of notifications. (-;
